I also changed my classic motor to the 300rpm. It eliminated the pop on power off on my deck as well. Speed stability seems better with the 300rpm motor also
Stringreen, It would seem that a way to avoid hum with the Classic/Grado combo is to shield the motor of the Classic, assuming that the motor is somewhere inside that plinth where it creates an EMI field that is picked up by Grado. The shield should work whether it is around the cartridge motor or the tt motor.
I am considering a VIP Clasic 1. Any suggestions regarding one of the Sumiko cartridges such as the Blue Byrd or Black Bird instead of a Grado Sonata Reference? Thanks.
